The Club Battle Finale: A Heroes Outcome! (703)

[Bisharp]

So Cilan's rivalry with Cabernet ends here?

[playerking]

Iris and Langley talk after the battle and Langley seems pretty understanding.

Same with Burgundy and Cilan.

And Iris got the motherfreaking feathers!

Also, Ash and Stephan said goodbye as well.

[-Salamence-]

Ash is a loser. There is nothing to expect. He will lose in the Isshu league. Loser.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Him Cabernet and Dent seem tob e on friendlier terms now but I think he accepted her as a rival or something.

LET ZORUA GO BELLE.

Awesome, they really moved on with the rivalries.

Did pikachu aim for the horn or not and where are these people even watching it

[ChaosMage]

I'd like to say I admire the writers for giving Iris this one. Excadrill needed a big showing after its loss-of-confidence subplot, and Iris needed to prove herself. Besides, Ash and Iris are sure to have at least one rematch where Ash will certainly win so it's no problem.

Stuff like that doesn't happen anymore, no its main attack was Iron tailing and lost.

He lost to a Drill Run, Focus Blast chain.

Well I'm curious how Iris will use the feathers if she does, she is kinda while so she mya just make a colar or something with it haha.

[Pokeballs]

Guess this sets up Ash VS Iris in the future nicely.

But why use Pikachu as the fall guy? Might as well get someone else a bit of screentime.

[dman_dustin]

This is just from what I know since Keyhole decided to suck for whatever reason.

Palpitoad was cheated out good screen time. But hey at least they didn't spend the cold opening on previews of the last episodes.

Zorua must've given up and let Bianca catch her although unwillingly.

YAY I knew it, Ash had NO chance at beating Iris. Take that writers, and take THAT Ash, for relying on Pikachu. That's what you get. Now shove the rat in its ball, and leave it there, until you know how to properly use it.

I honestly, right now could not give a rat's behind about anything else. I had to rely solely on audio which really sucked, and the few images. So eh.

Proper review later.

So it makes more sense, it was strongest pokemon vs strongest pokemon and the type disadvatange plays on Iris favour and complies with her always telling him about typing in battles.

Yeah mine sucked too dman, lol I had to restart it all the time and it would crash every 5 secs :S.

Palpitoad was expected to be fast, did anyone seriously though the fight would be big? I'm serious.

Belle seemed to go with Luke, it would be actually nice if they travel together and when one appears the other appears too, I'm saying this becuase I want to see Luke not Belle, I assume she would stop acting like a retard after travbeling with the thing for a while, she wouldn't be hugging it all the time.

He did pretty well considering how much of a disadvantage he had, thought character bashing was against the rules too

[Umbilical Noose]

Excadrill is surely a tough Pokemon. It took so many hits and still it survived. But Pikachu attacks being not very effective on it could be a reason too.

I didn't liked the idea of Kibago with Outrage. I wanted Krookodile to have it in case Ash gets one though chances were kind of slim always. Talking about Krookodile, does anybody have any idea what happened to SG Krokorok.

[realarcastform]

Lose. I hate you writers.

I HATE YOU WRITERS

You don't know how many times I've said this, in this series.
The writers have pissed me off so much, I want Ash to thrash Iris next match.
Seriously this win, will have Iris CONTINUE to call him a child.
Seriously guys, what the hell were you thinking??
They definitely are ballsier than ever this time and for the wrong reasons.

[Umbilical Noose]

@dman: I noticed that stream was working fine during normal talks but sucked in battle parts. It doesn't matter anyway cause soon it is going down.

BTW, Kibago with Outrage was kind of awesome. Even the after effects were nicely done.

[dman_dustin]

Just to clarify in my last post when I said "Zorua let Bianca catch her" I meant literally (sans Poke ball) since Bianca was holding Zorua a few times.

You know, I feel as if the writers screwed up her.

Excadrill should've been against Robot golem thing and Axew should've faced Pikachu.

Axew learning a new move, and Iris winning the tournament leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

It would've been better if Axew learned a new move and WON the tournament together. But different good events in the same episode for a character aside from Ash?

Eh, don't really care, Ash deserved to lose. Next time Ash no one is the Taisho, and NO you aren't using Pikachu.

Pikachu is a member of Ash's team, and Ash's closest friend, so he will always use Pikachu. Everyone needs to get over their hatred of that fact. Anyone else think this sets up Ash using Pikachu against Clay, just to disprove the type is all that matters thing?

No, what is fact is that Pikachu will ALWAYS be on the show.

What is FACT is that every other Pokemon Ash gets means Jack crap in the end. No one will care that Ash had an Oshawott at the end.

Pikachu should be used sparingly, it's always going to have wins, it's always going to lose, it's always going to be in an episode.

But when it comes down to only being able to choose between three Pokemon, the last Pokemon that needs to be on there is Pikachu.

I already dislike Pikachu being used in every full battle (except that one 10 years ago) because the RAT will never be transferred out.

The least they could do is limit Pikachu's screen time, and battling. So many other Pokemon need it. And I don't care if it was Roggenrola, and Ash lost because Roggenrola lost, at least it would've gotten screen time and would've battled. This applies to any Pokemon.

But no we can't say that, can we? No we can't. All because of the choice Pikachu. Honestly all it needs is a decent win or battle once every 20 episodes or something, assuming everything else got treated fairly prior.

[Lucario At Service]

Anyone else think this sets up Ash using Pikachu against Clay, just to disprove the type is all that matters thing?

Well that could be a possible reason for Ash's defeat here. But for that to become true Pikachu needs to learn a new move or else it would again lose to a pokemons like Excadrill with its limited move-pool (type wise).

This is a normal logic -If you can't jump to a height of 10 meters, how will you jump to a height of 50 meters?

Or in other words- if you can't win the Don battle, you won't win the league. In these things, there is no hocus-pocus, just like in the real life.

He used 3 Pokémon only.
